My mates reckon I look and act a bit like the Character of the same name from the wonderful British cartoon Danger Mouse. The 0101 came about to make it unique, so I wouldn’t have problems creating accounts for online stuff.

"There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning. And that, I think, was the handle - that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn’t need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting - on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave.So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high - water mark - that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back." - Hunter S. Thompson.

I've been using this name for stuff for a long time. I don't even remember the origin any more.

Didn't it have something to do with you starting a band and your dad mentioning a polka/blues combo? Damn this memory of mine.

Damned if you're not right. That's scary when other people remember aspects of my life better than I do.

A friend and I were talking about starting up a band, and we were thinking of what genre to play in, and my dad pipes up "Polka/blues?" And we all had a laugh, and somehow or another it stuck around. Though the band turned out to be more of an acoustic alternative rock deal.
